Hyatt Regency Long Beach

The Hyatt Regency Long Beach is located adjacent to the Long Beach Convention Center, and I would classify it for as a business/conventioneer hotel.

As you enter the hotel, the lobby opens up into a large airy space.  The lobby is rather large, with a bar, and coffee/pastry shop.

The front desk is straight ahead, and is a long desk rather than kiosks which are prevalent in many hotels now.

Check-in was quick and proficient.  Hyatt Diamond amenities were clearly explained.  The Regency Club closes somewhat early at 9:00 PM.  Since I arrived after the Regency Club had closed, I inquired about getting a couple of bottles of water, and was told to just have the bottles in the room and those would be taken off the bill.  Surely enough, no extra charge for the in-room bottles of water did not show up.  Big points!

I was given a room on the Regency Club floor.  The Regency Club has a large glass window and door, and appeared fairly spacious when walking by.

Key Holder

Upon entering the room, there is an interesting sculpture to hold your keys.  There is an acrylic hand coming out of the wall.  Creepy or cool, you decide?

Bathroom

The bathroom is to the right.  There is a large sink with ample counter space.  The bathroom is somewhat cramped.  There is a shower/tub combo.  The tub is actually very wide compared to most hotels.  Water temperature was excellent however water pressure was sort of low.

There is a small dividing wall between the bathroom and the rest of the room.

The room isn’t huge, but doesn’t feel cramped either.

Desk

There is a small desk that is somewhat small.  Although functional, if you needed a lot of desk space this would be a challenge.  There are many outlets which are easily accessible and appreciated.

There is a small sitting area.

Bed

The bed is comfortable, and plenty pillows are provided.

Outlets on Nightstand

The night stand has two great features.  The first is that outlets are right next to the bed, which many hotels do not have.  Second, there is a motion sensor night light at the bottom of the dresser which is an ingenious idea.  Although most people could navigate their own house in the dark, in a hotel room that poses a bigger challenge.

The Regency Club has two computers for use.  The club isn’t all that big but there is ample seating, with views of the bay.

There are no hot options for breakfast, with the exception of instant oatmeal.  This is a try continental breakfast, which includes fruit, cereal, bread, bagels, muffins, hard boiled eggs and smoked salmon.  The club attendant is very friendly and helpful, making conversation with every guest and clearing dishes quickly.

Overall, this was a very good stay and would consider this property again if in the area.
